THE SLANTED DOOR

Style / Ambiance: You might be wondering what attracted stars such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Quentin Tarantino to this obscure little Vietnamese eatery in the Mission District.

It’s really quite simple; honest, quality food and impeccable service. Since relocating to its new home in the restored Ferry Building, across the Embarcadero on San Francisco Bay, The Slanted Door has become one of the most popular restaurants in the city. Head Chef Charles Phan delights with the attention to detail of his modern, contemporary Vietnamese fare and has locals returning again and again. It’s always best to ring ahead; the best booths overlooking the Bay get snapped up very quickly.
